ᯓ⭐ WEEK THREE MINGLE

Happy third week, lovebirds! Here's to hoping you're riding high on the wave of success of one whole pair being correct! Surely you must have an idea by now how to win this thing!

Probably?

The good news is that you're not going to have to find yourselves in any weird clothes this time around, except maybe that just leads to a strange sense of foreboding for a future scenario...? Who knows. You can't quite brace yourself for it this time.

But don't worry, it's not like there's nothing happening. On the contrary!

For the entirety of this week, you'll find yourself feeling... clingy. It's going to start feeling very strange if you're not leaning on someone, holding their hand, cuddling with them, sitting in their lap, stealing a kiss, or engaging in some other form of affectionate physical contact. And if it's someone you're already feeling fond of OR someone you actually can't stand, guess what?

That feeling is doubled!

You may realize this is an unusual feeling, but so what? Trying to ignore it is only going to make it feel stronger and do you really want to make yourselves feel miserable?

Shut up, masochists.

I-it wasn't quite so dangerous as you're assuming. I didn't alter the actual state of reality, just everyone's perception of it. But that's not to excuse what I did. I'm confessing it in part because I know it was wrong.

[ Even if he didn't threaten lives by so doing, he did threaten agency. Choice. Grief and pain and everything that hurts that's just as important as joy, too. ]

[ Hmmmmmm.......

He actually does seem genuinely remorseful. And in her time knowing him, she hasn't gotten the sense that he's the type of maniacs she deals with on the daily that threaten public safety in an egregiously violent way. But still. She doesn't soften her gaze, but she also doesn't continue to pursue the interrogation into the act directly. ]

And how are you atoning for these crimes? Were the authorities involved?

[psychs]

You could...say that.

[ ma'am the authorities in question were a posse of gay vigilante teenagers ]

It's not the sort of crime that could be appropriately charged for in a court of law where I'm from, as only myself and those who apprehended me remembered it even happened. Still, I've abandoned the line of work that set me on that path.

[ So is he paying for his crimes? Emotionally, sure. Physically, in jail time? Not at all, sorry, Lin. ]

I still want to help people, but I'll find new ways to do it.

[ She guesses that's the best outcome, if he can't really be punished through the law. The line of her lip remains stern, though. ]

Then for everyone's sake, you had better keep yourself on that path. If you're truly serious about helping people, you'll find a way to do it.

[ a beat. ]

Or be stopped once more if you stray.
